8:16Anyone who turns his back on them on that Day, except while maneuvering for battle, or to join another group, has incurred wrath from God, and his abode is Hell—what a miserable destination!

8:17It was not you who killed them, but it was God who killed them. And it was not you who launched when you launched, but it was God who launched. That He may bestow upon the believers an excellent reward. God is Hearing and Knowing.

8:19If you desire a verdict, the verdict has come to you. And if you desist, it would be best for you. And if you return, We will return; and your troops, however numerous, will not benefit you. God is with the believers.

8:20O you who believe! Obey God and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him when you hear.

8:21And be not like those who say, “We hear,” when they do not hear.

8:22The worst of animals to God are the deaf and dumb—those who do not reason.

8:25And beware of discord which does not afflict the wrongdoers among you exclusively; and know that God is severe in retribution.

8:27O you who believe! Do not betray God and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts, while you know.

8:31And when Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “We have heard. Had we wanted, we could have said the like of this; these are nothing but myths of the ancients.”

8:33But God would not punish them while you are amongst them. And God would not punish them as long as they seek forgiveness.

8:34Yet why should God not punish them, when they are turning others away from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its custodians? Its rightful custodians are the pious; but most of them do not know.

8:35Their prayer at the House was nothing but whistling and clapping—so taste the punishment for your blasphemy.

8:37That God may distinguish the bad from the good, and heap the bad on top of one another, and pile them together, and throw them in Hell. These are the losers.

8:46And obey God and His Messenger, and do not dispute, lest you falter and lose your courage. And be steadfast. God is with the steadfast.

8:47And do not be like those who left their homes boastfully, showing off before the people, and barring others from the path of God. God comprehends what they do.

8:48Satan made their deeds appear good to them, and said, “You cannot be defeated by any people today, and I am at your side.” But when the two armies came in sight of one another, he turned on his heels, and said, “I am innocent of you; I see what you do not see; I fear God; God is severe in punishment.”

8:51“That is because of what your hands have committed, and because God is not unjust to the servants.”

8:56Those of them with whom you made a treaty, but they violate their agreement every time. They are not righteous.

8:58If you fear treachery on the part of a people, break off with them in a like manner. God does not like the treacherous.

8:59Let not the disbelievers assume that they are ahead. They will not escape.

8:60And prepare against them all the power you can muster, and all the cavalry you can mobilize, to terrify thereby God’s enemies and your enemies, and others besides them whom you do not know, but God knows them. Whatever you spend in God’s way will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.

8:63And He united their hearts. Had you spent everything on earth, you would not have united their hearts, but God united them together. He is Mighty and Wise.

8:65O prophet! Rouse the believers to battle. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will defeat two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will defeat a thousand of those who disbelieve; because they are a people who do not understand.

8:67It is not for a prophet to take prisoners before he has subdued the land. You desire the materials of this world, but God desires the Hereafter. God is Strong and Wise.

8:68Were it not for a predetermined decree from God, an awful punishment would have afflicted you for what you have taken.

8:72Those who believed, and emigrated, and struggled in God’s cause with their possessions and their persons, and those who provided shelter and support—these are allies of one another. As for those who believed, but did not emigrate, you owe them no protection, until they have emigrated. But if they ask you for help in religion, you must come to their aid, except against a people with whom you have a treaty. God is Seeing of what you do.

8:73As for those who disbelieve, they are allies of one another. Unless you do this, there will be turmoil in the land, and much corruption.

8:75As for those who believed afterwards, and emigrated and struggled with you—these belong with you. But family members are nearer to one another in the Book of God. God is Cognizant of everything.
